Call for Workshops

The 20th International ACM Symposium on 
High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing
http://www.hpdc.org/2011/

San Jose, California, June 8-11, 2011

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ACM Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC) conference 
organizers invite proposals for Workshops to be held with HPDC in San Jose, 
California in June 2011. Workshops will run on June 8, preceding the main 
conference sessions June 9-11.

HPDC 2011 is the 20th anniversary of HPDC, a preeminent conference in high 
performance computing, including cloud and grid computing. This year's 
conference will be held in conjunction with the Federated Computing Research 
Conference (FCRC), which includes high profile conferences in complementary 
research areas, providing a unique opportunity for a broader technical audience 
and wider impact for successful workshops.

Workshops provide forums for discussion among researchers and practitioners on 
focused topics, emerging research areas, or both. Organizers may structure 
workshops as they see fit, possibly including invited talks, panel discussions, 
presentations of work in progress, fully peer-reviewed papers, or some 
combination. Workshops could be scheduled for a half day or a full day, 
depending on interest, space constraints, and organizer preference. Organizers 
should design workshops for approximately 20-40 participants, to balance impact 
and effective discussion.

A workshop proposal must be made in writing, sent to Mike Lewis at 
mlewis at cs.binghamton.edu, and should include:
# The name of the workshop
# Several paragraphs describing the theme of the workshop and how it relates to 
  the HPDC conference
# Data about previous offerings of the workshop (if any), including attendance, 
  number of papers, or presentations submitted and accepted
# Names and affiliations of the workshop organizers, and if applicable, a 
  significant portion of the program committee
# A plan for attracting submissions and attendees

Due to publication deadlines, workshops must operate within roughly the following 
timeline: papers due in early February (2-3 weeks after the HPDC deadline) and 
selected and sent to the publisher by late February.

IMPORTANT DATES:
# Workshop Proposals Deadline:                  October 1, 2010
# Notification:                                 October 25, 2010
# Workshop CFPs Online and Distributed:         November 8, 2010
